By the vote o f the town to buy Rollers, it was left in our htfnds to purchase or have some built, and as we had no experience in such matters, we consulted Fryeburg Officials who have had experience, and they advised us to build, and we followed their ad­vice. W e do not pretend to know which is best, but have done what we thought best for the interest of the town.

Our Interest account is a trifle larger than common, owing to the fact that there have been some extra heavy bills to meet (on - May 29 to June 8 the Town’s account was overdrawn $1256) be­fore the taxes could be collected. Mr. Gray has charged us a very low rate o f interest on money advanced, and we think the town has been very well used in the matter.

REPORT-OF OVERSEERS OF POOR.

The duties of the Overseers of the Poor are more easily per­formed with a Poor Farm than without one, but the past year has brought up several cases which have added somewhat to the ex­penses for support of the poor.

Some time last spring we received notice from the town of Na­ples that James B. Cole and family had fallen into distress in that town. Upon going there Mr. Cole informed us that he wished to be removed to our town, but did not wish to go to Poor Farm. As Mr. Co|e was a soldier and we could not put him on the Farm with­out his /consent, we procured him a rent and removed him thereto. After getting into town he decided that he would like to go the Farm and we removed him there. After getting to the Farm and staying about three weeks he decided that he could take care of himself and we let him move into the H. M. Hartford house owned by H. R. Smith and he lived there a short time, then without our knowledge he removed to the town of Bridgton. After living there a short time he again fell into distress and was relieved by that town. It became evident to us at this time that we had got to adopt desperate measures in this man’s case or the town would have to suffer severely.

Therefore we consulted counsel and was advised to apply for a guardian, which we did, but owing to the fact that he was in Bridg­ton we failed to get one appointed. These proceedings put a check on his calling for help for a short time, but he soon called for more help and the services of a doctor, which was furnished by Bridgton as before. This last bill, a small one, has not yet been paid. We then decided to remove him back to town. Upon his refusing to come, we adopted legal measures for his return and got an order for his removal. J f he continues to call for help we would advise the appointment of a Guardian which we have no doubt can be pro­cured, and his guardian, with the pension which he now receives and the addition of a State pension to which he is entitled, can n$ doubt support him without further expense to the Town. This seems to be a case which if allowed to continue will cost the Town a large sum. Mr. Cole’s wife seems to be an expert in pauper cases, having been helped repeatedly by the town o f Sebago, and as we consider is no beneficial addition to our population.

We have recently received a communication from Enoch San-

Page 27: Annual Report of the Receipts and Expenditures for the

24 ANNUAL REPORTS

born of Bridgton saying that Lyman Walker of this town was stop­ping at his place and asking us to remove him as he could not take care of him. Upon investigating this case we find that Mr. Sharons is ready and willing to care for him any time that he m̂ ay return,! and owing to the above facts we do not think we have anything to do with his case. ‘ ’ ^

We have also received a sworn statement from Mrs. Ella Bur­nell stating that her mother, Mrs. Moody F. Walker was insane, and requesting us to have a hearing and do what we thought proper in the case. Drs. Brown of Denmark and Bennett of Bridgton were called and decided that she could be cared for better at home than at the Insane Hospital. W e have not yet decided what to do in this case.

Our Farm has been under the same management as last^year, it being late in the season when we changed farms and the fact that quite an addition had to be made to the tools to carry on farm has increased the expenses of this department to a considerable extent. ̂but the expense of our home poor has been about the same as in previous years under Mr. Thorn’s management.

I would say that I have paid all of the bills against the Town without it may be some very small bills that I have overlooked, I found the roads in a very bad shape, (especially in the East, part of the Town) owing to the heavy rains. As you will see I invested* pipeing for culverts and I think it is the cheapest way for the Town.I will not say anything about my method of building roads as you all can see and draw your own conclusions.

Respectfully submitted,E. P. FESSENDEN,

Road Commissioner.

OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.M ________

To the Citizens of Den m ark :I think that I can safely report to you, that your schools

have for the past year been both pleasant and profitable; that the teachers have been energetic and painstaking; that the pupils have evinced a large degree of interest; and that good work has uniformly been done in each school for the year.

As these remarks apply directly to each teacher, and each school, and as in the table accompanying this report, full in­formation in regard to number and length of terms, wages of teachers, etc., will be found, I think no special mention of the Common Schools necessary.

FREE HIGH SCHOOL.The Spring Term of this school was taught by Mr. E. R.

Woodbury o f Castine; Miss Bertha M. Berry, of Denmark, Ass’t. This term, although short, (only 7 weeks) was very successful.I should have gladly retained the services of these teachers for the year, but soon discovered that with the means at our dis­posal, it was impossible for us to compete for teachers with the liberally endowed academies at Fryeburg and Sebago.

The Fall and Winter Terms have been under the instruction of Mr. R. M. Mahlman of Lubec, a graduate of Colby University; Assistant, Miss Florence M. Jewett, of this town.

Under the administration of these teachers, the membership of the school and the interest of the pupil*, has been fully main­tained, and good work has been accomplished. A very thorough drill in Commercial Arithmetic, given a large class, has I think been of special value.

On account of the illness of the teacher (Miss Haseltine) last summer, and sickness in the teacher’s family in the Fall, West Denmark School has not as yet received its proportion of school privileges for the year. I have therefore arranged for a short term which commences at once, and to be paid for out of the appropriation for this year.

Although we have abolished several of our schools, the at­tendance at many of the houses is still very small, and I can but think that a further consolidation would be for the interest not only of the schools, but of the Town Treasury.

Of the $200 raised for purchase of school books this year, but $93.24 has been expended. As the schools are now quite liberally supplied, the expenses on that account for the next

26 ANNUAL REPORTS

year or two will naturally be much less than in previous years.The fund raised for Repair of School Houses has been light­

ly—perhaps rather too lightly—drawn on for the year. The only repairs of any amount were the painting of the house at Liberty Corner; and shingling one side of the Fessenden House. The late fall rainB proved bonclusively that the roof of th6 Centre House was in bad condition, and that it needed immedi­ate attention, but it was practically impossible to obtain suitable shingles in season to have them laid before winter. The entire roof should however be repaired as soon as the shingles ean be - obtained, and the season permit.

During the year a new house has been provided for the school at West Denmark. The school room is of good size; high posted, well lighted, and is furnished with good hard wood desks and benches, making one of the best and most pleasant school rooms in town. As this house, together with all proper an1 necessary outbuildings, was finished at a total expense of rather less than $250, I think it must be the opinion of every fair minded man in town, that a good job was done, and that the improvements made there were well worth their cost.

From its commencement, nearly three years ago, the Free High School has been a success and a credit to the town, doing good, honest work, each term and year. With but a small net expense to us, it offers educational facilities toouryoung people, (which they are by no means neglecting) practically equal to those afforded at large expense in other more pretentious inst- tutions in neighboring towns; and I do most earnestly recom­mend a renewal of the appropriation for its support., Respectfully submitted,

C. O. PENDEXTER, Supt.

Report of the Superintending School Committee.To the Citizens op Den m ark :

W e find in addition to tbe fact that the roof of the Center School ;House is in need of immediate repairs, that the water closets attached to several of the school houses are in a very unsanitary, as well as illegal condition, notably those at the village house. For their complete renovation, as well as other necessary work, we would recommend, in addition to the unex­pended balance now on hand,

IAppropriation for repairs for 1896,To balance the deficiency brought over from 1893-94, and

for purchase of text books for 1896,For Common Schools,For Free High School,

Respectfully recommended,C. O. PENDEXTER h S. S. Com. A. M. DEERING > ofG. W. GRAY ) Denmark.
